HPC executor #467
Comments
The main NCAR machine I have access to uses PBS - perhaps there is an equivalent of slurm job arrays for PBS? |
I've been looking into this more, and all of these look potentially interesting to us!
There is, and it looks very similar. Perhaps a I actually started sketching this out, borrowing heavily from But got stuck when I realised that:
funcX has recently become Globus Compute, a new offering from the same people who run the widely-used Globus file transfer service. The Globus Compute Globus compute requires an endpoint to be set up (i.e. on the HPC system of interest), and it's pretty new so I don't know if it will be setup anywhere yet. Then it requires a Globus account (is that free?). There is a very small public tutorial endpoint we could try using for testing though.
This seems quite similar to Globus Compute, except that it uses a decorator-centric python API, a bit like Modal stubs. It also requires setup, but it's already available on two large machines we use at [C]Worthy (Expanse and Perlmutter), which I might be able to get access to (full list of machines here). Perlmutter has a nice docs page about how to use Parsl on their system. It solves the function context issue by restricting to only knowing about local variables within the function - see docs. This feature also sounds really useful:
I would like to try one or two of these out. If we can get Cubed to run reasonably well on HPC that would be a big deal, and worth advertising on its own. |
Some possibilities:
